Join us for AARP Washington's Day in Olympia on February 14th. We'll meet in the Columbia Room on the ground floor of the Capitol for a discussion of the issues of concern to Washingtonians age 50+ and talk about how to take action in the Legislative session. Hear from legislators, AARP staff and volunteers, and special guests. You'll also have an opportunity to meet with your state lawmakers.

We just have to look at the names of several cities and places in California to see how integral Hispanic/Latino culture has been to our state. Some of the most obvious examples are Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Fresno, Santa Monica, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Sacramento and many more. Indeed, all of the state’s largest cities, as well as the majority of smaller ones, have Spanish names. So, as Californians, when we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we are actually celebrating our own history! In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, we'll be posting weekly articles on California's history. And we are starting today, with a short and fun quiz that will reveal how much you know about our Hispanic Heritage. Follow this link to take the quiz and look for a new article next Thursday.
